Under Dette Lyset (Under This Light)

6 Channel Video, 2 minutes each, looping. (Overview video: 3 minutes 36 seconds)

Together, these representations speak about Træna as a place more than about any individual. The ancientness of the landscape, the remoteness, the weather, the patterns of life and work in this environment, the food, survival, and community. Each object seems at first to be personal and specific, yet their shared vulnerability to time is communal and universal. The installation becomes, like the people of this region, a balance of intimacy and opacity.
